being limited beyond believe 60 kb/s from newsdemon, how do i go about either a PROXY (i use newzleech) or geting virgin media to remove this limit as it is realy annoyin me i jus payed for premium service :@

Could just be a bad route with them as newsdemon is really slow for me right now (100-200kb/s) while giganews is maxin out at 1.2mb/s

I'm on 2 meg and been using newsdemon all day, its been maxed out constantly. No problems

Im on the useast server

If it is bad routing for some people then people on alot of other news servers will have the same problem too because newsdemon are resellers of highwinds-media so they use their servers and so do alot of other usenet providers. Such as usenet-news, thundernews & newsgroups-download.

i been useing europe server the thing is for my first 3 days it was perfect 1.2 mb/s no problem but after that it stuck at 60 kb/s it aint bad routeing because it is dead stuck on 60 and first few days was ok, i think next month maybe i wil try giganews see if virgin media shape me from useing there servers as well ! (easynews beta is 1.2 mb/s useing instead of my payed account on newsdemon right now !)

How muxh did you download before your speed dropped away? If you are being capped then you will be capped no matter what servers you pull from.

internetguy · 10-02-2007, 22:05

I used the europe server for the first 10 days but I found useast to be the better one for me.

I was going to try giganews next month but you can't pay with debit card (im only 13 so I just have a solo debit card). Plus giganews for me takes a really good route:

Locky · 10-02-2007, 22:16

even more annoying i had 2 different clients running now 10 connections on each and it is divideing the 60 kb/s between them both (so each client 30 kb/s) :@

then why did it start off ok and then go to pot hmmm how can i go about geting this corrected then ?

If you can go giganews as its much bigger and in my experience very stable in its NNTP whereas easynews nntp servers are awful but there http is very fast.
It might be worth deleting your clients spool file and signiture file just in case. You could try grabbit to rule out the client. Try setting a different proxy I may have imagined it but this has made a difference or appeared to for me before
Try the different server address is there is one

only got either paypal or solo

i cant use em i dont think damn it, any others on par with giganews ?

internetguy · 10-02-2007, 22:23

I think GigaNews needs to accept debit cards, then I would go with them

Im the same as you Locky, only got PayPal or solo.
